10 Side Effects of Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 Side Effect #9: Blood Clots
Our heart is constantly pumping blood around a network of tubes that circulate throughout our bodies. These tubes are our blood vessels, and they need to be kept clear of obstructions to allow the blood to flow freely through. Should something impede the flow, then we can be in quite a lot of trouble.
Sometimes, a blood clot might form in a blood vessel, preventing the blood from flowing. Studies have shown that too much vitamin B12 in the blood can lead to clots with potentially catastrophic results. You should speak with a doctor if you are considering using the vitamin as a supplement, especially if you have a history of cardiovascular problems.
